About Us
Between us we have over 50 years of experience in general practice. We have done teaching of medical, general practice and allied health students, we have been on speciality panels, we have won awards, we have contributed to research, we have delivered babies, we have cut out skin cancers, we have helped hospitals with feedback to improve patient care, we have advocated for our patients. Before all of that, we were in the hospital system doing various rotations in surgery, obstetrics and medicine. These days, we attend teaching sessions, invite specialists to chat about new developments in different fields of medicine and we keep up with our knowledge because we know medicine is always changing.
In the background, we have a solid commitment to work life balance so that we can practice what we preach. We volunteer, we find ways to fit in physical exercise and we spend time with our families.

Our Services
Your lifelong partners in health. The plans we make together with you about your health and the way we provide communication is tailored to your ability and preferences. We are mindful and respectful of the fact that family and the community are often central to your care, that life rarely is lived in isolation. And we would be honoured to be part of your team.
1. General Practice
Good quality, compassionate general practice with a focus on preventative health and patient led care. For ANY age. At ANY stage. Pregnancy, kids, contraception, sporting endeavors, travelling - we are happy to see and give advice on the whole spectrum of life!
3. The Complicated
Stuff
We aren't scared by complicated and complex patients and are happy to provide a second opinion if you need someone to look over your health. Yes, we do care plans for chronic conditions and health assessments too.
2. Older Adults
Specialised general practice for care of the older adult including those with dementia. Because things do change as we get finer with age. Quality of life is important and so is independence, planning for the future and making your own choices based on your individual values.
4. Excisions, Ear Syringes, Implanon and other Minor Procedures
We can also go to the patient's nursing homes to do minor procedures such as biopsies, skin cancer excisions and ear syringing.
Community Based Approach
We have a close working relationship with many pharmacists and hospitals, especially in our immediate area. We communicate with them frequently and are not afraid to ask each other questions.
We contract the services of a locum visiting doctor service (WADMS) if patients need to be seen sooner than we are able to visit – for example on weekends. They send reports back to us of their visits. (Please note that their fees and policies are separate from ours)
